7     (a) Upon the motion of the Department Office of Banks and
8 Real Estate or the Board or upon a complaint in writing of a
9 person setting forth facts that, if proven, would constitute
10 grounds for suspension, revocation, or other disciplinary
11 action against a licensee or applicant for licensure, the
12 Department Office of Banks and Real Estate shall investigate
13 the actions of the licensee or applicant. If, upon
14 investigation, the Department believes that there may be cause
15 for suspension, revocation, or other disciplinary action, the
16 Department shall use the services of a State certified general
17 real estate appraiser, a State certified residential real
18 estate appraiser, or the Real Estate Coordinator to assist in
19 determining whether grounds for disciplinary action exist
20 prior to commencing formal disciplinary proceedings.
21     (b) Formal disciplinary proceedings shall commence upon
22 the issuance of a written complaint describing the charges that
23 are the basis of the disciplinary action and delivery of the
24 detailed complaint to the address of record of the licensee or
25 applicant. The Department OBRE shall notify the licensee or

 

 

HB5067 Engrossed - 38 - LRB095 17131 RAS 43186 b

1 applicant to file a verified written answer within 20 days

3 shall inform the licensee or applicant of his or her right to
4 be heard in person or by legal counsel; that the hearing will
5 be afforded not sooner than 30 days after service receipt of
6 the complaint answer to the specific charges; that failure to
7 file an answer will result in a default being entered against
8 the licensee or applicant; that the license may be suspended,
9 revoked, or placed on probationary status; and that other
10 disciplinary action may be taken pursuant to this Act,
11 including limiting the scope, nature, or extent of the
12 licensee's practice. If the licensee or applicant fails to file
13 an answer after service of notice, his or her license may, at
14 the discretion of the Department Office of Banks and Real
15 Estate, be suspended, revoked, or placed on probationary status
16 and the Department Office of Banks and Real Estate may take
17 whatever disciplinary action it deems proper, including
18 limiting the scope, nature, or extent of the person's practice,
19 without a hearing.
20     (c) At the time and place fixed in the notice, the Board
21 shall conduct hearing of the charges, providing both the
22 accused person and the complainant ample opportunity to present
23 in person or by counsel such statements, testimony, evidence,
24 and argument as may be pertinent to the charges or to a defense

2 the report shall be served upon the licensee or applicant,
3 either personally or by certified mail. Within 20 days after
4 the service, the licensee or applicant may present the
5 Secretary Commissioner with a motion in writing for either a
6 rehearing, a proposed finding of fact, a conclusion of law, or
7 an alternative sanction, and shall specify the particular
8 grounds for the request. If the accused orders a transcript of
9 the record as provided in this Act, the time elapsing
10 thereafter and before the transcript is ready for delivery to
11 the accused shall not be counted as part of the 20 days. If the
12 Secretary Commissioner is not satisfied that substantial
13 justice has been done, the Secretary Commissioner may order a
14 rehearing by the Board or other special committee appointed by
15 the Secretary Commissioner, may remand the matter to the Board
16 for its reconsideration of the matter based on the pleadings
17 and evidence presented to the Board, or may enter a final order
18 in contravention of the Board's recommendation. In all
19 instances under this Act in which the Board has rendered a
20 recommendation to the Secretary Commissioner with respect to a
21 particular licensee or applicant, the Secretary Commissioner,
22 if he or she disagrees with the recommendation of the Board,
23 shall file with the Board and provide to the licensee or
24 applicant a copy of the Secretary's Commissioner's specific
25 written reasons for disagreement with the Board. The reasons
26 shall be filed within 60 days of the Board's recommendation to

 

 

HB5067 Engrossed - 40 - LRB095 17131 RAS 43186 b

5 shall have the right to take any of the actions specified in
6 this subsection (d). Upon the suspension or revocation of a
7 license, the licensee shall be required to surrender his or her
8 license to the Department OBRE, and upon failure or refusal to
9 do so, the Department OBRE shall have the right to seize the
10 license.
11     (e) The Department Office of Banks and Real Estate has the
12 power to issue subpoenas and subpoenas duces tecum to bring
13 before it any person in this State, to take testimony, or to
14 require production of any records relevant to an inquiry or
15 hearing by the Board in the same manner as prescribed by law in
16 judicial proceedings in the courts of this State. In a case of
17 refusal of a witness to attend, testify, or to produce books or
18 papers concerning a matter upon which he or she might be
19 lawfully examined, the circuit court of the county where the
20 hearing is held, upon application of the Department Office of
21 Banks and Real Estate or any party to the proceeding, may
22 compel obedience by proceedings as for contempt.
23     (f) Any license that is suspended indefinitely or revoked
24 may not be restored for a minimum period of 2 years, or as
25 otherwise ordered by the Secretary Commissioner.
